| Comments |
Farmer's Market scrip of this denomination belongs to a broad category of local trade tokens issued by American market cooperatives and vendor associations, primarily through the mid-twentieth century. These notes circulated exclusively within a designated market or vendor network, functioning as prepaid credit rather than currency in any legal sense.
Without a confirmed issuer location or date, pinning down the specific market is difficult. Hundreds of independently operated farmers' markets across the United States issued near-identical scrip under the same generic name.
